Great movie, but a misrepresentation of Marius and the Students
"We are not revolutionaries, Madam." Good Lord, Marius and the others were revolutionaries, insurrectionists even. Hugo puts this quite plainly. And to
...
denigrate these bold young men to the stature of mere prison reformers is heinous. A good movie, though. I like that the moviemakers remembered that Cossette is a brunette, at least when she is older. Four stars because black-and-white renditions of classic novels are usually very good. (try A Tale of Two Cities if you liked the book)

as Javert, literally breathing and seething hatred for ValJean. His character is consumed by this need, and I won't go into the psychology of that, to battle corruption and crime of any nature how small and to obey the letter of the law. Never diviating from his purpose in life, now matter how blind that is. A true classic in every sense.

Bienvenu and Jean
The scene with Bienvenu and Jean is so incredibly moving! Actors had so much eloquence back then.
